Cardiff Winter Wonderland 2019 costs for rides, ice-skating, beer and food

Cardiff's Winter Wonderland is a must-visit attraction every Christmas .

Year after year, the green outside City Hall is transformed into a magical wonderland full of rides, ice-skating and food and drink stalls.

Along with the usual ice rink, there's an Alpine Ice Trail snaking through the site - with the nearest one of its kind being set up in Vienna.

As well as this, the big wheel is back with increased accessibility, so now wheelchair users can enjoy the fantastic views of the city.

A trip to the wonderland is undoubtedly a family favourite - but will it break the bank?

We've broken down exactly how much the rides and ice skating sessions will cost, as well as some of the food and drink.
